My bun loves to dig so I’m making her an enclosed indoor bunny dig box. The problem is that I’m not sure what to fill it with! Any ideas?
I use paper bedding for her litter so I don’t want to use that as it might confuse her. She is a pea brain bun.

Make a ball pit with cut up paper towel rolls!
I used to use my paper shredder to shred paper and put it in a dig box and also I would rip up cardboard and put it in. However, my bun did end up (sometimes) using it as a litter box after a while lol ☺️
Top soil is safer than play sand but careful I once got a few bags of it and when opened they had mushrooms growing on it which is toxic to rabbits so ended throwing them away. Maybe I got bad bags idk
My rabbit loved to turn tissues into shreds and dig on them. You could maybe fill a litter pan with toilet paper and let her go crazy in that. Scrunch up the paper so it has more volume for her to throw around.
Alternatively you could try a covered litter box with sand for hamster sand baths. Would probably be messy but be safe for her to dig and flop in.
building supply places sell big plastic bags of sand/gravel materials
for soil maybe try garden centres
I filled a sandbox with normal play sand and my buns love it! Ruthie has used it to dig every day for the past 3 years. You can buy play sand at most hardware stores. Here’s a pic with 400 pounds of it

Very very helpful advice right here
Now that that’s out of the way, is she a certain breed? I want a bunny that looks like this and I’m learning 👍🏾
Lovely bunny
Mine loves the brown packing paper you get in Amazon boxes (and sometimes the boxes themselves).
I rip up the brown packing paper in my Amazon shipments and add some clean cardboard for them to dig in. I’ll also throw some pellets and forage in for them to dig for. I refuse to have sand in my place lol… That stuff gets everywhere!
Couch works!!! 😂
She’s so cute I wanna squish her little cheeks 🥺
I can’t get over how cute that back footie is…. 🥹🥰 What a GORGEOUS loppity!
Adorable and maybe this is just the angle but very big bun it seems. What’s their name? 🙂
